What Is Spreader Matting?
Spreader Matting is used in hydroponic systems, like an NFT (Nutrient Flow Technique) system. Use spreader matting to ensure equal distribution of nutrients across the system and oxygen access for roots. Plants' respond with rapid root growth, covering the available surface area.
Spreader Matting is excellent for providing even distribution of nutrients throughout the top tray of an NFT system. For use with Gro-tank and Multi-Duct NFT Systems, the mat promotes rapid root growth over the entire NFT tray for bigger plants.
What Size Is Spreader Matting Available In?
Spreader Matting is available in the following sizes:
20 cm Wide Spreader Matting
- 25 m x 20 cm
- 250 m x 20 cm
30 cm Wide Spreader Matting
- 30 m x 30 cm
- 300 m x 30 cm
How Does Spreader Matting Work?
Spreader matting is a porous, felt-like material. It works to provide roots with evenly distributed nutrients and access to oxygen. It is a key component for success when using hydroponic, NFT systems.
Spreader Matting is used to break the surface tension of the nutrient solution. The material evenly spreads constantly flowing nutrients, helping to avoid channelling.
Spreader matting holds a constant supply of fresh nutrient for roots to access. It works with the nutrient solution constantly flowing over, under and slowly wicking and leaching through it. Your plant's roots spread out to cover the entire surface area. Root's are in constant contact with the Spreader Matting, ensuring that all plants in the system have the same access to food and water.
Plants grown using spreader matting react with rapid root development, covering the mat, with explosive upward growth. The even supply of nutrient guarantees even nutrient distribution to each plant, and adequate aeration from exposure of the top layer to air. No matter what you're growing, the even distribution of water and Nutrients simply couldn't be more important.
How Do I Use Spreader Matting?
We recommend using more Spreader Matting than required, so that the end drapes down into the Reservoir - reducing or eliminating the sound of drips.
